And Republicans have Rep. Greg Steube and this monster home run to thank:

But because this is D.C., politics did interfere with the game:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was in attendance. Maybe she just saw the banner?

He did get some boos from the GOP side of the stadium:
Pool rpts Biden walked out onto the field at Nats Park behind the Nationals' presidential mascots. THere was cheering but then boos rang down from the GOP side of the stadium. Republicans chanted “let’s play ball.”

And many noticed that our leaders were not practicing social distancing at the game:

They’re outside and will be fine, but we do wish the people in this photo would stop lecturing us when we do the same thing:

No social distancing either.
Guess we are taking a break from the show tonight.

There’s a 100% chance that Facui and Co. would’ve labeled this a superspreader event if it was just Republicans:
